Potato Unwashed

Product Overview:
Unwashed Potatoes are the preferred choice for those who value tradition, flavor, and extended shelf life. By skipping the industrial washing process, the potato’s natural protective skin remains undisturbed and shielded by a thin layer of field soil. This "earth-cured" state prevents premature sprouting and keeps the potato from drying out, ensuring the flesh remains firm and starchy. Whether you are boiling, roasting, or mashing, these potatoes deliver a deeper, more rustic flavor that comes from being kept as close to the harvest state as possible.

Key Features:

Extended Shelf Life: The natural soil coating acts as a preservative, significantly reducing light exposure and moisture loss compared to pre-washed varieties.

Firm & Starchy Texture: Selected for a high solids-to-water ratio, ensuring they hold their shape during cooking or mash into a light, fluffy consistency.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every batch is hand-inspected for "eye" health and skin integrity. We ensure the tubers are heavy, dense, and free from greening or deep mechanical cuts, providing a high-yield product with minimal waste (SQA Checked).

Farm-to-Table Authenticity: Retains the natural minerals and earthy aroma that are often lost in high-pressure washing systems.

Daily Uses:

Perfect Roasts: Scrub them just before cooking; the skin remains remarkably crisp when roasted with olive oil and rosemary.

Bulk Meal Prep: Because they last longer, these are the best choice for stocking up your pantry for weekly stews and curries.

Rustic Mashed Potatoes: Boil with the skin on to retain maximum nutrients, then peel (or leave on) for a rich, textured mash.

Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place (like a burlap bag or a cardboard box). Do not wash until immediately before use, as moisture can lead to spoilage. Keep away from onions, as they release gases that can cause potatoes to sprout faster.
